Any tweaks I'm missing?

I have lots of ’tweaks’ added to my system.

Is there anything I’m missing?

A small cupboard, so no power conditioner possible.

A smallish budget, so most probably no Gate to try.

One small request...

Can the negative knobs please refrain from commenting.

I’m not interested in what you think of me, the products you have not tried, or my spending habits.

Only those who have experiences of possible additions, would be much appreciated.

@ OP,

you're like the typical skyrim modder with so many mods. I'd like to think that good mods can be additive. Mine have been so far. Plenty of people are happy playing vanilla skyrim, but vanilla is all they're going to get. For the tinkerers out there, you really can craft your own experience.

I'd go BDR Cones over Vibrapod, try em if you want more a more dynamic presentation.

I have Black Ravioli Pads on top of the vibrapods. The BR Pads were a huge revelation.

Seems like you are putting band-aids on without understanding why....

A fool and his money...
Yeh, could be me.
But, I no longer drink, don’t gamble, not a drug dealer, not into cars. My vice then is sound. Harmless - or if harmful, only harming my bank balance.

I haven’t got the desire to replace my amp for anything in the vicinity of $10+ thousand.

I’ve been wanting to get my system to a point where if I suddenly keeled over, I’d be satisfied with it.
Replacing my speakers with ATC SCM19 v2 was one of the first changes, and a huge step forward. (With a ’visual’ wife, the system has to be hidden, no cables, no ugly...)

My music has never sounded better, and I’m looking forward to summer; lounge doors open in the day, or the evenings.

You didn’t list a hospital grade wall out let. Run out and get one. Huge difference, ,that can make. .Furutech and wattgate make excellent ones.
Unfortunately I'm not in North America or Europe. There is nothing available where I am. Contacted Furutech who had mentioned an audio wall outlet, but was not a viable commercial proposition for them.

WOW you must have the best sounding system in the whole wide world!!

The "Snake Oil Voodoo’ist Manufacturers" must love you, you’ve got more money tied up in BS snake oil than what your systems worth.

Can I give you some sanity advice, throw all that **** in the cupboard to sell to some other poor sap later on ebay.
And just hook up your system without that ****, the way it was designed by the manufacturers to be, who have more EE knowledge in their **** hole than these snake oil voodoo’ist.

Cheers George
